I’ve got bats and brooms on the front porch! Well, I’ve got a few other things too. Like pumpkins, cats and spooky lights! I always love decorating for Halloween. It’s such a fun time of the year. For the first time, in a long time, I changed up the front porch decor. Come on in and see!

Last week I made the cutest broom parking sign. However, it’s been raining too much to even think of putting it out, until today. With a brief window of time before the next round of rain, I knew it was time to put out this sweet sign. Now that the broom parking sign is hung, all that is missing are a few witch’s brooms to park! Today I’m sharing how to make a witch’s broom. Much to my surprise, making a witch’s broom was super easy and a lot of fun!

It’s raining here. Again. Or should I say still. Today was the day to decorate my Halloween front porch, however since it’s so wet I thought my time would be better spent in the craft room. No, I’m not building an arc, although I should probably consider it. Today I’m painting a Broom Parking sign. I had this crazy idea that all of the witches here at the castle might need a designated spot to park their brooms. Who wants to be constantly be tripping over that mess, right?

A few weeks ago, I shared my Halloween Table with you. I’m always on the look out for fun, inexpensive ways to present my place cards. This year, I found what I think are some really fun and easy Halloween Place cards. They light up and are super easy to make! Oh, and did I mention that it’s also Ten on the 10th? If you are new here, that’s where Ten fun bloggers share fun ideas, under $10.00 on the 10th of the month!

It’s been a bad week here at the castle. After a fun filled weekend in Oklahoma, I came home with a bug. The only thing I’ve gotten done is the beginnings of getting the partio spruced up for fall! In all fairness, I started a lot of projects, but none are finished.

When you enter the castle, one of the first things that you see is the dining room. It’s also one of the first places that I start decorating for holidays. Since it’s October, it’s time to set my Halloween table. This year’s theme is a witchy Halloween dining table. There are some constants on my Halloween dining table. The first being a witches hat. Each year I pull out my witch’s hat and give it new ribbons and decor.

I can’t believe that October is just around the corner. I feel like I just got my pumpkins out and cooler temperatures have barely begun. A few days ago, I pulled out the Halloween decor and started planning where it all would go. All was well, until I got to the kitchen. My pretty little buffalo plaid and orange striped pumpkins make me so happy that the thought of putting them away made me sad. So, I began planning how to keep them. Why couldn’t my kitchen Halloween decor be more fall, less Halloween. Cute not creepy! Don’t worry, I’ll still keep it a wee bit wicked! Here at the…

It’s officially fall. Finally! I’ve been waiting awhile for it. Here at the castle, we start off with a small amount of fall decor, swing into October with an overload of Halloween, and finally settle in for a more traditional fall decor for Thanksgiving. Since it’s almost October, I guess it’s time to rip off the band-aid and start the Halloween extravaganza. I’m starting with a simple Halloween Mantle. Over the years, I’ve gone from a heavily decorated mantle to a more simple understated one. I’ve come to believe that you don’t have to spend a fortune or put everything in the Halloween closet on the mantle! This philosophy could…

Happy October! We are big on Halloween here at the castle. I’ve been decorating for Halloween in the living room for awhile now. I finally have it done! Believe it or not, I actually cut back on the decorating extravaganza this year! Normally you would find floating ghosts, Skeletons, spider webs and all sorts of craziness.

When it comes to crafts, some days I want to be like Martha Stewart. Then there are other days I want my crafts to be a little more fun and laid back. Heidi Swapp’s Marquee Pumpkin kit is perfect for those days.

Y’all I can’t wait to show you how to dress up your pumpkin! They are so stinking cute!!! I would love to tell you that this was totally my idea, but that would so be a lie. I was cruising Micheal’s website for idea for a fall project, when I came up Miss Heidi Swapp herself sharing how to dress up your pumpkin! You can see Heidi’s post here.

Okay, I admit it, I’m weak when it comes to fall and Halloween decorations. I can’t help myself. Shopping for new items to spruce up my fall table was turning out to be a challenge, especially in the charger department. First world problem, right? Then it occurred to me, why not a charger makeover? So, I grabbed a few items in the arts and crafts isle and got busy!

After sharing my chalkboard ghosts with you, I couldn’t wait to show you Halloween in the dining room. We love Halloween here at the castle so we decorate the house in a huge way. This year is no exception! My dining room is the first room you see as you enter my home, so it its the perfect place to make a big statement.

I’ve seen a lot of things made out of chalkboards, but never chalkboard ghosts! I was at Michaels a few months ago and found these blackboard shapes that were on sale for 80% off. I’m not sure what they were suppose to be, but to me they immediately reminded me of ghosts. I wasn’t completely sure what I was going to do with them, however I figured that they were cute and the price was right so why not buy them? I would decide what to do with them later.

For the first time in many years I changed the decor of my Halloween mantle. I think it is safe to say that Halloween is one of our favorite holidays here at the castle. We love to decorate, make our own costumes, trick or treat, and host Halloween parties! Over time, our taste in decor has changed. A lot!

Today I want to show you my quest on how to make a glowing witch’s hat! I say quest because it’s taken me three a few tries to get it right! I first saw how to make a glowing witch’s hat on Pinterest. Those witches hats were so darn cute, I knew that I was going to try and make one.

I was at Joann’s Fabric today picking up some fabric for a HUGE project that I have been working on, when I saw the cutest thing – Jar Jewelry. Have y’all seen them? I was so excited, as soon as I saw them I knew I wanted to make some Halloween mason jar glasses! Jar Jewelry is made by Vintologie. They have decorative jars, lids, labels, and tags- both made of tin and paper. From the moment I saw them I was in love. They are 50% off right now so I bought a few and decided to give them a try. Here’s what you are going to need: Mason…

I see dots! All over my Halloween Table… I didn’t plan on my Halloween table to have so many “dots”, but once I noticed that I was using quite a few, I just quit fighting it. The more the merrier, right? Dots on the napkins and the plates. There are even glitter dots on the spider napkin holders. We’re “batty” for dots. Sorry. I couldn’t resist! Remember I told you that I was falling in love with chair back decor? Well, this is one of the reasons why. I love these bats. And they were supper easy to make, just tie a knot out of your ribbon onto your chair…

Woo Hoo! It’s time to get out my Halloween decor and get this party started! We are Halloween freaks at my house. We love it all. The decor, the costumes and the candy. Sometimes I think we spend more time decorating for Halloween than we do for Christmas. Almost. What self respecting witch doesn’t have a spell book? This one asks you if you want some candy? Looks like this witch may have had a little too much candy! Of course we have bats in our belfry! It is a little wicked here too… This year I cut back on the mantle decor – even Sadie loves it.

I am addicted! Yeah, I have crossed over into land of crazy! My pumpkin patch is growing. I can’t stop making them. Black ones, white ones, turquoise ones… I make them for me, I make them for my friends,and I make them for my relatives. About the time I think I am done, I realize that I haven’t made one for my great Aunt Eunice. Wait! Do I even have a great Aunt Eunice? Thank goodness Michael’s pumpkins are no longer 60% off. They have gone down to a mere 50% off this week. And let me be the first to tell you that it has not slowed my pumpkin…

So I am doing a little Halloween decor tweaking. If you saw my earlier post on decorating my halloween table you saw that I decided to put purple and orange fiesta plates on it. And it was cute. However, I still felt like something was missing. My white plates. I LOVE white. Always have and probably always will. But when I put the white plates on the table the white just seemed …too white. So how to make them work with the table? Vinyl cutouts! Here is what you need: 1. White plates of your choice. 2. Vinyl cutouts. I just used my Cricut…
